"We'll just play the guys that are on the field," Shafer said Thursday morning at his weekly press conference. "I'm sure he'll be ready to go."

Winston, a Heisman Trophy favorite, is part of an ongoing investigation into a sexual assault complaint filed with the Tallahassee Police Department last December.

Florida State released a statement Wednesday saying there was no change in Winston's status for Saturday's game.

"We are aware of a matter that was investigated by the Tallahassee Police Department almost a year ago," the statement reads. "Because the investigation has not been closed by TPD, we cannot comment further at this time. We look forward to a speedy resolution of the issue. There is no change in Jameis Winston's status."

Winston has not been charged with a crime, and the incident report, which is heavily redacted, does not name Winston.
